What does the Chinese lunar calendar mean?

Nacai refers to the ancient Han marriage customs, which is the first of the "Six Rites". It means that when a man wants to marry a woman, his family sends a matchmaker to the woman's family to propose marriage and give gifts to propose marriage. If the girl is interested, the boy will send a matchmaker to formally propose to the girl's family and bring certain gifts, so it is called "Nacai". In today's terms, "Nacai" refers to the engagement, gift giving, and then discussing the wedding date. Therefore, the Yi Na Cai day in the lunar calendar refers to the day that is suitable for concluding a marriage ceremony.
Ancient records
1. "The Rites of Rites: Marriage Ceremony for Gentlemen": "Marriage ceremony: Send the bride price, use wild geese." Jia Gongyan's commentary: "Nacai means 'Na' because it is the first time to choose a bride and the bride's family may not agree, so it is 'Na'."
2. "Han Shu Pingdi Ji" records: "In the spring of the third year (Yuanshi), the emperor ordered officials to marry the daughter of Anhan Gong Mang for the emperor."
